ABSTRACT:
A transducer for measuring the velocity and displacement of ferromagnetic materials comprising first and second magnetic read-heads positioned close to but not contacting the magnetic element whose velocity is to be measured with the two read-heads located a fixed distance apart in the direction of travel of the element, magnetic means positioned close to the magnetic element ahead of the first and second read-heads in the direction of travel of the magnetic element for increasing the magnetic surface noise levels of the material or the magnetic element, amplifiers connected to the two read-heads for amplifying the random voltage noise signals induced in the read-heads, said signals being substantially identical with one being delayed in time with respect to the other, zero-crossing detectors connected to the outputs of the amplifiers, means for correlating the noise signals obtained from the zero-crossing detectors and providing an output frequency signal, an electronic digital delay line circuit connected between the zero-crossing detector of the first read-head and the means for correlating the noise signals, feedback means for applying the output frequency signal to the electronic digital delay line circuit to control the amount of delay such that it is equal to the physical delay produced in the signal from the second read-head, said delay being related to the velocity of the magnetic element, and means for measuring the frequency or number or both of the cycles of the output frequency signal to give an indication of the relative velocity or displacement or both of the magnetic element.
